Great picture! Love those priceless shots. Reminds me of one of DD on Splash. I will have to search for it and try and post it. It fits perfectly with our children/fear of rides discussion. I think everyone in the photo place was laughing with DD at how hysterical she looked (read terrified there).




Karen: I think I just saw the first season of that show on DVD at Target. I could be wrong.

Yup, I saw it there too!!

On DVD restriction for a while!

We live just a few miles from the original Harry Ramsdens, as in fish and chips in Epcot.

It used to be a lovely place to go with great chips(of the fries variety), but it isn't as good nowadays I'm afraid. We haven't eaten any in Epcot though to see what they are like.

We love the Rose and Crown in Epcot, Marilyn. Not sure how authentic it is as we have never been to England.

Sorry to be absent so much by my job has had me out of the office for 2 weeks and then I picked up costume mom duties, and I am just whopped. But, without further ado...

The roll call has been updated!!!!

However, it also appears that we may have lost some folks who were on with all the work they have been doing on the boards. So if you were on there and you are not anymore (and ya didn't ask me to take you off) PM me and let me know. I have a master list on my work computer and I can try and merge the two to recreate the whole list.

Trying to catch up on all the messages I missed. You all have gotten really chatty on me!!!

Aunty,

We have missed our "fearless leader" terribly!!

Have had to READ every single post to stay updated!! You have spoiled us so!!

BACK!!!

Karen

PS - did you get my PM about our disapearing from the first page?

 

[been2marceline]

Hey, you changed your avatar!

I noticed that too, but as I am blond (and old, and tired) I didn't want to say anything, just in case I had imagined it!

Weird thing about that, it changes all of them in the past too, which is a bummer because you can't look at previous stuff to compare.

Before I head to sleep, here's a joke I borrowed from my 11/24/07 meet thread:

Gift for Snow White
Snow White received a camera as a gift. She happily took pictures of the Dwarfs and their surroundings. When she finished her first batch she took the film to be developed. After a week or so she went to get the finished photos. The clerk said the photos were not back from the processor.

Needless to say, she was disappointed and started to cry. The clerk, trying to console her, said,

"Don't worry. Someday your prints will come".

Very funny!

By any chance, are you WDW anytime before your cruise? We sill be there till about the 24th or the 25th.

Ok, vuja de again! (Deja vu in orkan)

I'm here all alone, just like last night!

The DIS goes down and everyone DISappears!!! And I, patiently waiting for the return of the DIS, am all alone when it reappears!!

Whoa is me...

Karen, Drama Queen of the DIS, in the late night hours...

 

[been2marceline]

The DIS did not go down at it's usual time tonight of 12:20!

Yet, still noone here but me!

All alone...

All alone...

Karen, loosing her mind, should go to sleep!!

 

[been2marceline]

Good morning UK and Happy Birthday Marilyn!!

I'll be heading off to sleep soon!

Bit tired of being alone on the DIS

Where is everyone!!!!

Karen

 

[been2marceline]

So maybe... the DIS is down for everyone but me!!

I'm in alternate universe or... The Twilight Zone!!

Yeah, that's it...

Doo, doo, doo, doo... doo, doo, doo, doo...

Karen

 

[granmaz]

Good morning. Not many pages to catch up on today. You must have been expecting the Dis to go down so went off somewhere!!!

I love it!! What does Eeh bah gum mean?

Ooo, lets see, it means eeh bah gum!!! Honestly I am trying to think. Sort of 'oh my' or 'wow'. I am going to have to get a Yorkshire accent handbook!!! We also have Yorkshire dialect, so I think that may be more dialect than accent!

Night, Marilyn. See you on Friday at some point. I will be taking a flight to San Diego in the AM so not sure when I will be back on the computer.

Noel

Have a good trip.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY! (I am typing it a day early, but you won't read it until your bday!! !

Let me second that Marilyn, Happy Birthday!! I wish you many, many happy returns of the day!!

Noel

Thank you!

Good to see you back - I've missed you.

Well, goodnight everybody! Can't keep my eyes open much longer. My body is sore from the gym....first time back in months and I worked every muscle group I could think of. My motivation came back and I'm going to work like crazy to get rid of my flab.

I know how you feel with the gym ache! Keep up the good work.

to everyone who's celebrating today!(tomorrow)

Thanks!

Come on over to shipofthieves.com when the DIS goes down!

OK...back to catching up...think I have a few minutes left

I second that.

It is amazing. My eldest is 37 this year and I find it impossible to believe. I really am not old enough to have such an old child!!!

Admit it Marilyn, you were 10 when you had your first child!!

Karen

We love the Rose and Crown in Epcot, Marilyn. Not sure how authentic it is as we have never been to England.

Karen

I've not been in the Rose and Crown!!! Must try next time then I can tell you.

Good morning UK and Happy Birthday Marilyn!!

I'll be heading off to sleep soon!

Bit tired of being alone on the DIS

Where is everyone!!!!

Karen

Thanks for the birthday wishes!!

 

[been2marceline]

Yeah!! The DIS is back and I am not alone!!

Just in time for bed!! (The cat is looking at me pointedly again!)

Good night and have a pleasant day!!

And a very Happy Birthday, Marilyn!!

Karen

 

[UKANGEL]

Happy Birthday Marilyn & Cork!....and to my dd Becky too!


Unfortunately, Becky is very poorly today with some sort of sickness bug, so she's not had a good start to her Birthday. Get well soon sweety!

 

[UKANGEL]

Sorry for the confusion. Yes, that is the right one. She is the blonde on the left. We think she is pretty gorgeous too but we are prejudiced!!


She's stunning Noel!

Got registered for my classes for next semester! Now I just have to come up with thousands of dollars for next term by the end of April. Got screwed by school. Before I took this semester off, I called and asked about the procedure for doing so. I was told to submit something in writing saying I was only taking the semester off and that I'd be registering for classes the following semester. That's it. Well, about 3 weeks ago I got a letter in the mail from school saying, "We regret to inform you....." that basically since I took a semester off, it reflects negatively on my academic progress and I'm therefore ineligible for Federal student loans until I attend at least one semester to prove satisfactory academic progress. Huh? I'm 1/3 of the way done....not in my first term. Seems to me I have satisfactory progress. I'm not academic probation or anything either. Sure...right...I have $8,000 sitting around gathering dust that I can pay for this semester with....yeah....easy as pie....NOT!!! Had they told me about this when I inquired about taking a term off, I never would have. Oh well.....lesson learned.....NO taking a semester off.

Sorry to hear that Holly!

Yes! Saw them several times in the late 70's early 80's in London!

Thanks, Deb!!

Karen

We love the Rose and Crown in Epcot, Marilyn. Not sure how authentic it is as we have never been to England.

Karen

It's not very authentic, though not bad........not nearly smoky or grubby enough for some of our pubs!

So maybe... the DIS is down for everyone but me!!

I'm in alternate universe or... The Twilight Zone!!

Yeah, that's it...

Doo, doo, doo, doo... doo, doo, doo, doo...
